The Topshop Unique show for S/S 2012 debuted its new collection at London Fashion Week in

The Eye catching Egyptian motifs ranging from coiled cobras, suns and stars,
the eye of Horus and hieroglyphic text was an aesthetically innovative theme to
include in the collection.

The design team revealed that the use of hieroglyphics was a reference
to the influence of artist Keith Harring and his childlike form of graffiti.

Motifs were
daubed across over-sized hooded tops, dresses in rough textured cotton in gold
and black contrasting prints were paraded on the runway, swimwear, trench
coats, black leather jackets and panelled dresses ; provided fashion eye candy
for spectators. The collection did not skimp on the colour either with black
and white outfits often being punctuated by a shot of turquoise or a glimmer of
gold sheer fabric.

The Egyptian influence was combined with
nineties street wear and make up to bring the look into the 21st Century.

The
Topshop Unique design team derived their influences from Elizabeth Taylor’s
portrayal of Cleopatra which explains the gold and bold print detail.

Oscar), but at its center is Elizabeth Taylor in one of the most glamorous
roles of her career. Astounding in scope and grandeur, the picture won Oscars
for cinematography, sets and special effects. It's famous moments include

Harring style hieroglyphicsHis quite childlike style of graffiti is really something that sums up that era.They combined the childlike graffiti with the classic Egyptian text. The real black and white element from
